Dear CNC friends,
rom my experiences of the last years, I have now built the final version of the SolarSphere.

SolarSphere 4.0
The advantages over the Model 3.0 are:
The drive (including lighting and loading module) as well as the substructure and the sphere are independent modules.
The sphere is made of polycarbonate and therefore insensitive to external influences.
The new rotor design eliminates the need for balancing.
The lighting is variable (the LEDs are plugged in and can be replaced by other coloured ones at any time).
Electricity consumption has been reduced by 80%.
The charging module (including USB connection) shows the operating status of the Lipo battery visually.
The magnetic bearing is stabilized and makes the rotor insensitive to vibrations.
These changes significantly reduce costs and production time.
SolarSphere 4.0: W=212mm D=148mm H=176mm

How it works is explained in the video down below.





Thanks for your interest
